I can send you PLANT of Euphorbia myrsinites ...

I haven’t direct seeded perennials in fall because it is always a busy time of year, but one suggestion is to plant in rows or mark locations carefully. There are always questions on the Name that Plant forum from folks who have done direct seeding and can’t distinguish the seedlings they want from the weed seedlings. And with direct sowing you will get weed seedlings since the seeds are in the soil. One way to avoid this is by winter sowing, and there is a whole forum dedicated to that. [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/winter-sowing-dsbr0-bd~t_30046[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/winter-sowing-dsbr0-bd~t_30046-dsbr0-bd~t_30046) But most winter sowers plant in containers rather than direct seed since for most plants the success rate is somewhat better and you can work on it midwinter when you can’t work outside in the garden. You may find some lists of plants that will work for you there. I have always sowed seed in pots or direct seeded in spring. Over winter in our zone, some seeds will rot in the cold, wet soil. Many sprout in late summer and overwinter as seedlings, while others do fine as seeds over winter. Some plants I have successfully grown from seed (but in spring, not October) include cottage pinks/Dianthus, perennial candytuft/Iberis sempervirens, Columbine/Aqualegia, and two self-seeding biennials, hollyhock/Alcea and foxglove/Digitalis. I also have a good number of self-seeding annuals that reappear in my garden every year, with my favorites being bread seed poppies and flowering tobacco/Nicotiana. I am an experienced gardener, but don’t grow many perennials from seed.
